I'm a star and I'm alone
Waiting for Neptune to dream;
Plan and write it in scheme
I started small but I have since grown,
Yet the night sky still seems baron
An old lonely sun, I stand misunderstood
I wish there was a way in which I could;
Draw your face as a constellation

Let your fathomless eyes;
With sanguine perception
Illuminate my cold and rusty heart,
Light up the dark and deserted skies
Forgive all this star has done,
And lay at my feet a chance to rechart

Your time will come slowly,
For now you must let the empty space taunt you.

Your grass will grow slowly,
For now you must plant the seed in the baron land below you.

Your heart will beat slowly,
For now you must tap the drum softly beside you.

Your love will heal slowly,
For now you must be patient and watch the tide take away the pain that troubles you.

A patient man is a judicious wolf.

Time; at the console of our universe.
Using it's lumberjack hands to fiddle the buttons.
Using it's musk to scare away any potential.
For once it succeeds, it's vice like grip only tightens.
Spiders caught in their own web, left to ponder at the injustice.
Crying at a wrong doing has the same affect as smiling.
Only it doesn't. For the smile brings upon chance.
When the harsh reality snaps at your fingers,
Realising that any broken mind can imprint on its own behaviour.
At that moment, street lights brighten,
The spider gains footing.
The Man of time becomes the woman of life.
More gentle, more forgiving.

I'd bleed my heart out on your floor
Strip down 'till I'm just bare bones
You can throw me in the fire
Atleast I'd get to feel your touch again

I'd lay my soul out for your eyes
To see the bruises I feel inside
You can turn and just ignore it all
Atleast I'd get to see your eyes again

I'd take a massive leap of faith
Fall down to the love I crave
You can let me hit the floor
Atleast I'd get to see your face again

I'd give it all to you, my last breath, just to call your name
I'd lose it all for you, lose my mind, just to feel your touch

A cloud is inspirational.
It represents the human race without trying to.
Clouds like people can't stay stuck in the same place.
People live and they move on.

Don't add my imperfections to the war that you're waging.
Playing with fire will burn us both.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Instead of walking in holes already made by my demeanor.

Acting innocent will get you killed.
Stabbed by the truth and buried with your lies.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Denial can be powerful but leave you powerless in the end.

If you want the war to end.
Stop feeding the hungry media.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Stop spreading your re-used propaganda.

Trying to turn the world against me.
But the world is round.
I'll have them chase me all the way around.
And lead them straight back at your feet.

We drink cheap cider under the spell of the moonlight.
Another round of laughter and it'll be time to head home.
So lost in each others eyes we forget whose turn it is to buy.
I will kindly tuck a tress of your hair behind your ear.
You will kindly glance down, your bashful nature coming to light.
My mind races with an eternity of hopes I want to carry on my shoulders for you.
Our tenderfoot hearts pounding swiftly.
My hand will caress your comfortable cheek.
Your hand will lull upon my wrist.
We will meet in the middle and our lips will collide.
Electromagnetic fields will hold us together as we ignite.

I'm awoken to a barren bed and a hollow heart.
Falling back on forever, each time I fall back to sleep.

I play hide-and-seek with my demons,
They count to ten but always find me again,
I try to cover myself in secrets,
But they peel them away and uncover my face

Starts with a scratching at my door,
Told them that I don't want to play anymore,
I try to hide behind my walls,
They always find a way to make them fall.

I get up and I run to the sun when I'm stuck in a place that's darker than my home,
'Cause I know now I've grown I will never be alone I'll always have somebody's silhouette,
Stand and watch holding onto something I can never quite get my hands on I'm painting with pastel grey,
When my vision is blurred maybe something I heard gave me inspiration to carve my way,

Holding On

Well my story unfolds when I try to move on from the things that I've done or the things I've said,
And I know my control was the problem initially it was all just in my head,
Verse by verse it got worse my jealousy slept with me every time I went up to my bed,
Teddy bears and fear's what I held so near I watched as my tears turned to cigarettes,

Holding On

I actually care for you, more than I care for myself.
Whatever the cost, even if I lose out, I want you to be your happiest.

You deserve the sun, the moon and all of the stars.
If I'm not the one to give you those things, then that's where I stand.

When tears fall from your cheeks, they also fall from mine.
And when those blue crystal eyes shine, they make me smile.

I actually care for you, more than I care for myself.

It's your birthday and I wanted to send you flowers.
But I didn't want to intrude on your little patch of glory.

Loneliness, it hides under my bed,
Loneliness, it costs so much,
I remember, all the pain that I've caused,
Now I have to pay up.

Losing myself in the bottom of my glass,
Reaching out my hand to any figure walking past,
Praying in the darkness on a night filled with terror
for an angel like you to save me from myself.

I left your broken hopes like a discarded toy,
I realise that I was toxic,
Infecting all our dreams that we now hate,
I realise that I was toxic.

I left your shadow running on her own,
I realise that I was toxic,
Infecting all your innocence with mistakes,
I realise that I was toxic.

I left the taste of poison on your lips,
I realise that I was toxic,
Infecting all our love that we now hate,
I realise that I was toxic.

Watch my face, as I take your warm embrace.
There's no smile, hasn't been one for a while.
'Cause you don't listen to me, you don't listen to me.
No, you don't listen to me, why don't you listen to me.

I let you steal my stars, steal my stars.
I let you have my heart, have my heart.
I let you have your way, every second, every minute, every day.
But you never really listen to me.

I'm not sure what kind of person would prefer broken bones to a broken heart but im that kind of person.

My head is so unstable I feel like it's falling apart,
This love feels like a fable and I'm just playing my part,
I need some time, I need some space to think this through.
I need some time, I need some space to love you.

My heart is so unfaithful I feel like I'm letting you down,
This hope can't last forever maybe I'm making this hard,
I need some time, I need some space to think this through.
I need some time, I need some space to love you.

This isn't the dream I kept beside my bed,
This isn't the love I played inside my head,
This isn't the hand I should hold, when it's dark and it's cold
And I'm alone, I'm so alone.

In saying goodbye, nothing dies.
Memories still fly, a swarm of warm butterflies.
Skin and bones decay, but memories remain.
I'd trade an open casket for an open mind.

We must move on, but in moving on, we must never be tempted to forget.
Our memories, actions, words have made us who we are today.

I don't know where to begin,
Your eyes show me what I am missing,
They're deep, dark, mysterious
And I must be delirious,
If I think I've got a shot at this

I try too hard, and you cower away
I try not to care, but you're stuck in my brain
I try to play it cool, but you're hotter than I can handle

Another sleepless night in front of me,
Another empty show of sympathy,
I remember when the stars shun so brightly,
Now an empty glass of memories,

My love, I've been looking, for something to blame this on.
But I'm conflicted;

Do I blame my heart, my soul, or the world for what you did.
Do I blame my love, blame it on us, or the world for what you did.

My stomach is sick, my legs are shaking.
Tell me now, have I lost it all?
Maybe I need to lie down, you've been laying down for me.
Am I going crazy? Have I lost it all?

             I can't help, but lose myself, in you.

You tell me the truth, or so you claim.
Then you go running, back to him.
Maybe I need step back, protect myself.
From being broken, and losing it all.

              I can't help, but lost myself, in you.

                               Tell me what you're thinking.
                                   I've been trying to guess.
                          What's been going on in your head?
                          What's been going on in your head?

"I'm Sorry"

Language is useless without a tongue to perform the action.

I wish that I was strong enough to turn up at your house,
To tell you that I love you, and I need you here right now,
But all these insecurities, they turn themselves into doubt

Tell me politely if we aren't meant to be
And let me down slowly not for the world to see
That I'm lost, without you.

Red. Red and amber. Green.

The lights change as slow as my heart beats.
Fixed in my position,
I reach to remove the hair that hangs over my eyes.
The strands of hair fall back into place each time I move them.
The thought of having salvation salivates my mouth.
Sirens call my name but shiver to my response,
Despite the fact that they are in colder waters.
Sometimes I wish the siren would go back to it's depths.
The innocent pure upper body of a girl is nothing but a mirage;
A trick to fool the absent minded.
Luckily for me,
I know that underneath the beauty lies a monstrous tail that powers it's false image.

Green. Amber. Red.

I suddenly hear the beeping of cars behind.
I missed my turn.

           Love                                  is                      
wr­itten                    in                    stone
       which                                slowly
             fades                          to
                   sand                   ..                                          
                    ­     ..                 ..
                             . . . . . . .
                              . . . . . .
                                . . . .
                                  . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I can't say that I'm sorry,
Or wish that I'd written a different story,
The stars may not align,
But at least we can say we tried

I don't see you knocking at my door,
You must be slightly jaded or massively bored,
I hear no voices at all,
Just a whisper of what we used to call

"Love"...

I walked straight into your town,
Before the dust had a chance to settle down,
You never voiced your concerns,
But had enough air in your lungs to hurt

This must have just been some game,
For months now it hasn't quite been the same,
You fade the more that I blink,
Is this what I am destined to think

of "Love"...

Does gravity keep you grounded?
Or does he place your head in the clouds only to pull you back.

Maybe if he wasn't there, you'd float like a butterfly.
Gravity hurts me when he keeps his force on you.

Like a law I can't break.
His ***** claws scratching and latching at your shoes.

I will never be as strong as gravity, or as good looking.
But maybe with the help of the moon, I can shift him. Loosen his grip.

And maybe one day soon, we'll both fly together.

"Would you like to buy a shoe?"

My words ring around the school yard.
Laughter bounces back to me.

The only laugh I focus on is yours.
A simple joke allows me to admire that soft smile of yours.

Our pupils dilate, did I ever tell you how stunning your blue eyes are?
I'd been speaking to you for quite some time, but time seemed to stop in that one moment.

The first time I actually said something to you in person.

I'll never forget that moment, despite the fact that a wall of sharp roses stands between us.
I hope you haven't forgotten it either.

I give you my heart,
When it beats, you'll feel the pulses of our love
When it bleeds, you'll make it strong again
When it finally stops beating, you'll be there to say goodbye

A lonely ship sails through a narrow sea.
It's torn flag raised for all to see.
A symbol of the crews heart worn on their sleeve.
Loyalists to the captain they bend the knee.

He holds out a map, "x marks the spot".
Lost in his own dreams that he almost forgot.
The distance isn't the issue he's got.
It's how far he must dig to earn A shot.
At forgiveness, redemption before all is lost.

You're my tap which has no label.
I have never been a gambling man but I want to wash in your sweet water.
It's often that I become so desperate for your touch that I take the chance.

Sometimes the water is so cold that I feel numb inside.
And other times it is so hot that I can feel my blood boiling.
But sometimes. Just sometimes.
It is the perfect temperature and it sends a fuzzy feeling dancing through my bones.

It's the chance that when I turn to you, you'll give me that feeling again. It keeps me coming back to gamble once more.

My tongue continues to talk, even when my heart has become silent.
My eyes stay open, even when my sight has blurred.
My embrace remains warm, even when my skin is cold.
My body commits, even when my mind has left.

Your tongue is silent, even when your heart continues to talk.
Your eyes close, even when your sight has cleared.
Your embrace turns cold, even when your skin is warm.
Your body turns and leaves, even when your mind wants to stay.

We were never synchronized swimmers in the deep end.
We were simply beginners in the shallow.

Love, I've been missing you,
On our time, I've been gripping to,
Underlined, by the things you do,
I'm inside out.
Sometimes, I tell myself I should just let go,
Amplified, by every single one I know.

I've got no inspiration, 'cause you've taken it all
Can't put pen to paper, 'cause I've written it all
And my misbehaviour, has caused me too fall

Deeper down the hole you left,
When I put you on the shelf.

With the curtains closed, the demon lurks behind me.
I can feel its heavy breathing, separating the air to reach my neck.
My hands tremble, sweat dripping down my cheek.
Or maybe a tear? It's hard to tell when your mind is elsewhere.
I focus on the shadowy figure lurking behind me,
I feel as though it's getting closer and closer with every second.
I hold my ground until my legs begin to cave,
I lurch myself forward and draw the curtains.
I turn around quickly, but there's nothing there.
